Abstract (en)

A plastic bottle crate is provided with upright walls (6, 7) fitted inside the crate to form compartments for accommodating bottles. One or more side walls (2, 3, 4, 5) of the crate are provided with window apertures (10). The compartments situated next to the side walls provided with window apertures and opposite the window apertures are provided with flexible bottle fixing elements (11). Each fixing element (11) is connected to the upright walls (6, 7) and stands free from the bottom (1) of the crate. The fixing elements (11) are preferably shaped as a side wall part of a truncated cone or pyramid; so that in the vicinity of the bottom of the crate the fixing elements cooperate with the outside of the bottles placed in the compartments of the crate. Thus, the bottles in the crate are prevented from turning during transportation, while the risk of damage to the lables on the bottles is small.
